A D
it was familiar to me, the smoke too thick to breathe
C# F#
the tile floors glistened, I slowly sipped my drink
A D
and when he started to sing, you spoke with broken speech
C# F#
that I could not understand, and then you grabbed me tightly
A F#
I won't let go, I won't let go
A F#
even if you say so, oh no
A F#
I've tried and tried with no results
A F#
I won't let go, I won't let go
Interlude: [A, F#] x2 [A, D, C#, F#] x1
A D
he then played every song from 1993
C# F#
the crowd applauded as he curtsied bashfully
A D
your eyelashes tickled my neck with every nervous blink
C# F#
and it was perfect until the telephone started
A D
ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off
C# F#
ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off
A D
ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off
C# F#
ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off
A D
ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off
C# F#
ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off
A D C#
ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off
F# A
ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off
D C# F#
ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off
I don't know how you should end the song.
I'd recommend ending either on an A or F#.
I doubt you'd want to keep repeating the "ringing" part though.
Without the background drums and beats it gets really repetitive.
I'd just mess around with it for a bit and see what happens.
